The Knight

A concept art piece for a... secret project which I am working. This is a concept of the 'Knight' class for the game. He is over-muscled and doesn't look so knightly due to that being the style. However, I think he looks too much like a brute and might decide to give him some chainmail headgear/neckgear. I think it'd help give him a more knightly look. Any suggestions with the rest of the body to be more knightly? A visor on his helm is pretty much out of the question.

What can be improved, removed, or added?

I think he looks like a brute because of his hunched, befuddled look.

When people think knight, they think noble, upright, proud, tall, intelligent... etc.
More of a neck would help.

His chest design reminds me of He-Man.

A good set of knightly armor would help as well.
I mean, look at arthas, he's practically an epitome of knightliness (just... evil).

Very good suggestions. I shall take them all into consideration. Thanks a ton for the advice!

Ooo, nice. His shoulder pads seem to be made of paper tho, you may want to buff them up soo they are thick and bulky.

Also steer away from cloth, it makes him look like a barbarian. Turn the gloves into Gauntlets, the pants into armored pants and maybe kit him out with some plate mail over his chest, or at least a tabard. Oh, and the harness is kinda associated with barbarian, so id change that ^^

The face is awesome man! oh, and lol at the helm =)
What kind of weapons will this lil fella be equip with?

A two handed sword is his attack weapon, but he also can switch to a large tower shield and provide AoE defense, sort of.

I will probably give him a tabard and give him chainmail legs. His gloves might turn out to be gauntlets. I'll see how it looks in the game when its made.

If you're going for the over-exaggerated style (like f.ex. TF2) it'd indeed be better to highlight and satire the noble and aristocratic sides rather than brutish, that's more befitting say a barbarian or viking. Like make him extremely thin, give him a long mustache and stick-up-the-arse expression.

He has an extreme v-tapor.

If you replaced his head with an orcish head, it would actually fit. I think he simply doesn't look enough like a human, rather than some other species.

I'd say his body is about 90% orc and 10% human.

Edit: Woah, didn't realize the post date XD

I think he looks waaaay to much like a barbarian, try to give him another head or at least a full helmet.

It looks like ogre that was recruited by the human army.
But its great concept art.
